INDIVIDUAL GIFTS

Through your donation to Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity, you can help give a local family the priceless gift of a home. Any size gift will be greatly appreciated and will help us work toward our goal of building simple, decent homes for families in need.

How to donate

There are several ways to make your tax-deductible contribution.


Give through your workplace

We are an affiliated agency of the Somerset County United Way. Through your employer, you may be able to donate through payroll deductions. Please be sure to specify Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity as the recipient. (Our United Way of Tri-State payee number is 018430.)

If you want to make your contribution go even farther, ask if your company has a matching gift program for charitable donations. Get a matching gift form from your personnel office, fill it out, and include it with your contribution.
